Sophie's Story

Sophie Meet Sophie, a true survivor with a heart of gold and the gentlest soul you'll ever meet. This beautiful 2-year-old Lab mix was rescued from a heartbreaking hoarding situation in Louisiana, where she lived among more than 30 other dogs. Despite her rough start, Sophie has blossomed into a loving, loyal girl who just wants to be by your side-and maybe sneak in a few belly rubs while she's at it. Sophie came to us pregnant and bravely gave birth to three gorgeous pups-River, Ranger, and Rex-right here at Happy Life. She's been an incredible mom, but now it's time for this sweet girl to be spoiled and cherished the way she deserves. Ready to write a happy ending for Sophie? She'll be ready to meet her forever family this Sunday at our Pawsitive Strides event! Don't forget to register for adoption ahead of time at happylifeanimalrescue.org. Sophie's next chapter could be with you!
